Among ur various activities we are making a. study of new Oregon. Did Oregon passed away and new Oregon is be ing: born with advancing ideas and pro gressive laws; a potent factor in the advancement of our state is the en franchisement of women. Oregon, with lier vast Water power and other natural resources, has attrai ted great capital great industries will be the next step ana with It will come immigrants from all corners of the earth. The club w-omen of Oregon can do much toward preventing colony settlements, creed and national discrimination by Insisting that the industries demand a perfect citizenship and thus assist In mould ing the people in our greats "melting Jot" Into a harmonious whole under tne flag."

Get the "useless" things, good for nothing but fun. And then prepare for a picnic. Borrowing a chiid for Christmas is a guaranteed remedy for the glooms. It turns the worst pessimist into a chronic eheer upodist. Sharing the youngster's joy takes 10 years off your age at a single whack. When the child comes in at the door the blues fly out through the window. And the beauty of this scheme Is that you don't have to be a childless couple to share Its benefits. Nut at all. It works all the better if you already have a house full of children. One more won't add to your burdens, ami the more the merrier anyway. The borrowed youngster will have all the livelier i.me if there are other boys and girls. The families that have bor rowed a child for Christmas in previous vears say they wouldn't think of al andoning the custom. Of course there will be enough youngsters to go around; still, it's a wise idea to do your Chrfstmas borrowing early. Make arrangements now while you can have f-rst pick and let the boy or girl have t!ie joy of anticipation. So borrow a child for Christmas and, who knows' Miibe when the day is done you won't want to return it. skirt peeping shyly out. as underskirts sometimes will. "I cannot understand it, either," she continued. "I am never troubled with cold extremities." Her friend advised her to put her feet on the ledge a Ions' the radiator pipes, and she did, apparently with the right results. No more was heard from her about cold feet, but much about her determination to get Christ mas shopping done early, and how she had hurried to keep her engagement to meet her friend waiting on the plat form to take the 8 US with her. The train drew into the station and the wearer of the Hudson seal coat arose. As she did the crossed-over fronts of her coat fell widely apart, revealing only a taffeta petticoat of the usual deep flounce and end ruffle pattern. In hex haste to go a-shopplng milady of' the Hudson seal had forgotten to put on her dress skirt. Curtain. PRACTICAL SUGGESTION I Copyright. 1915, by Lillian Russell. N T1QS age when nien and women assert their right to reason and in vestigate all thing pertaining to their well-being and their moral, men tal and physical welfare, all efforts to enlighten the public mind should meet with general approbation. It does not follow, hrwever, that these efforts must be approved only as they stimulate mental activity in others, whereby truth and error, good and evil may he distinguished as they pass through the fiery ordeal of criti cism. The revelations of modern science have given a great Impetus to the pub lic mind in carrying on its investiga tions by sifting truth from error. Kvery department of life has been acted upon. Travel, commerce, social intercourse, international law, popular education all have been carried for ward toward a complete development. Arts of living have been simplified, the luxurtes of all classes multiplied and facilities' afforded in every way for increasing popular knowledge aug mented in an untold ratio. Of what use are theories or schools If they fail in practice? Life is spiritual, but living is a prac tical matter, not a theoretical specu lation. It is personal with active du ties, no part of which can be delegated to others without loss. Individuality accepts responsibilities. To grow in wisdom we must think else the plains of existence become as arid wastes. Health is unquestionably a matter of the first importance to everyone. It is as practical and personal as lifi Itself. It may be i ailed the art of living, or you may dignify it by call ing it the science of life. If life is valuable, if its object are desirable, if Its preservation is a thing of consequence, can there be a more Important matter brought under public notice than the principle of health? ' Why should the popular mind be neglected on facts relating to health and filled with false excitement, mag nified news and artificial pleasures? The latter are of far less ooii3og,uen e to their interests and happiness. People have hitherto been virtually shut out from participation in knowl edge of their own stru-ture, the causes of disease and prim lples of health. Physicians have thought it beneath them to write to the people on mat ters of disease. The vast medium of ideas between man and woman, the newspapers, have been In suited by our learned professors. The people unin formed as to the nature, cause and cure of disease have been ea.sily caught by vulgar assertions and names, without explanation. Quackery has flourished till the professional name has become al most a byword and n proach. "What is a physician If lie Is not a' curator of the people's health? Is he merely to theorize, to quote authori ties, to write long prescriptions from books, to utter mandates in an un known tongue, to hand over his pa tients to the tender mercies of the apothecaries and then fold his arms and stand in dignified "self-respect"? No. There is for him a higher and nobler duty. It is his province not only to prescribe for but to Instruct his patients In any way that can give them a knowledge of their own bodies and how to protect them. And by this means alone will he guard thern against the thousand deceptions by' which they are surrounded on every side. If this course were practiced & great deal of th drugging and doc toring so fatal today would be abol ished and a healthier and iiappler race would be the result. silk for muff or corsage.

Add the cream of tartar and allcw the mixture to boil until it forms a soft ball when tried in cold water: then pour into a basin which has been rinsed with cold water. When it is cool enough for you to put your finger in ine middle or it, cream it and when thick, knead with your hands until it io a solid, firm, creamy mass.
